Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 24: the Lions steal Chiles and grade out a B.

The board owed the Lions one, and it paid up: Aidan Chiles, the No. 201 name on the board, sitting there at the 240th pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

They will need White to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jake Slaughter
In pick 27 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Chandler Rivers
They paid sticker price for Chandler Rivers in No. 59, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jaden Greathouse
Jaden Greathouse at Round 4, Pick 25 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Quintrevion Wisner
Quintrevion Wisner in the 166th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jordan White
A wild overpay on Jordan White in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick205 Rnd6 Elliot Washington II
Elliot Washington II at the 205th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Aidan Chiles
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Aidan Chiles in pick No. 240, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255 Rnd7 Thomas Collins
A real head-scratcher, Thomas Collins in slot 255 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
